Holiday Gift Guide 2013! with Sale Details

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving!
Today is seriously one of my favorite holidays. Second only to Christmas. This day is a special day for so many reasons. It's wonderful to be able to get together with family, stay cozy inside, and just relax with yummy food and celebrate all of the blessings we have to be so very thankful for.

So I'm posting this and signing off for day.
...and tomorrow, because to me, Black Friday is all about staying cozy inside, wearing comfy pj's, and eating leftovers.

But today also marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season!
So to officially welcome the madness week of a thousand sales, I'm bringing you my COMPLETE Holiday Gift Guide!
In this post, I'll share with you all my list of go-to gifts for both guys and gals, some store-specific sale info, and some of my go-to shopping tips and sites.

Hopefully you've already checked out the accompanying video on my YouTube channel (check that out here if you haven't). In that video, I share more general tips for holiday shopping. All of my best tips to make holiday shopping less difficult. Because we all know and love a few people who may be a bit difficult to shop for. So check that out for some specifics and tons of tips that won't steer you wrong.

But as promised, here I'm sharing my more complete, specific guide for all the actual gifts I recommend and would definitely pick up for my loved ones.
These are the gifts I'm loving to give this season.

Great gift ideas! I watched your video as well and I love perfume as a gift, but it is really difficult to buy for people unless you know their taste. I think an awesome way to give someone perfume as a present is to buy a sampler gift set. I live in Canada and we have a large drugstore chain called Shoppers Drugmart, which sounds similar to Ulta and every year they put out a fragrance sampler that let's people try out ten really popular fragrances. What makes this such a great gift is that it also comes with a gift certificate redeemable for a full size perfume. I know Sephora also does sampler sets similar to this. These sets take the pressure off the gift buyer because the person who receives the present is sure to like at least one fragrance out of the bunch.

This is such a great gift guide! Thank you so much for putting your thoughts and hard work into it. I got my mother-in-law a Philosophy set (and added another Philosophy bath gel to my collection...) after I watched this :)

I've been a fan for a few months and finally commented because this guide was so great. Thanks!
